Fiber to the x (FTTX) is a generic term for any broadband network architecture using optical fiber to provide all or part of the local loop used for last mile telecommunications. As Fiber Optic Cables are able to carry much more data than copper cables, especially over long distances, copper telephone networks built in the 20th century are being replaced by fiber.

FTTx network architecture is now widely applied to telecommunications for long distance transmission. When using the fiber optic pigtails in FTTx network, it is very essential to protect the fiber terminations since fiber joints are fragile and easily contaminated by outside pollution. In response to the problem, equipment named fiber termination box is created to house the fiber terminations in a safer place. There are also various types of fiber termination box (FTB) solutions for different applications. This article will provide the some detailed information about them to help you select the right device for your project.

Features of Fiber Termination Box

Fiber Termination Box provides a simple and clear way to manage the incoming and out coming cables. Fiber bending radius is securely protected inside the box, thus signal integrity is also guaranteed.Fiber termination box is a compact device offering a convenient access for installation, maintenance and subsequent termination. Fiber counts can be varied to satisfy the project requirements. When installed for different occasions, fiber termination box is also designed with different structures.

Classifications of Fiber Termination Box

Hereunder let’s introduce some types of Fiber Termination box to its application

Wall Mount Fiber Termination Box

From its name, we can know that this type of fiber termination box is wall-mountable for installation. The box consists of a front door,4 LC/APC SX Adaptors and Pigtails as well as splice tray can be installed inside the box. It is typically used for applications like building entrance terminals, pre-connector zed cables, cross-connects,Field Connector installations, telephone closets, pigtail splicing, CATV, and computer rooms.

Rack Mount Fiber Termination Box

Rack mount fiber termination box is rack-mountable to be installed into a rack mount unit. Including 19inch and 21inch installation. Unlike the wall mount type, rack mount box has a front and rear door with sliding rails and cassettes inside can be fix the cassettes quantity depends on the capacity. And provides interfaces between outside plant cables and transmission equipment.  

Fiber Splitter Box

Splitting, splicing and terminating can all be done inside a small area of fiber splitter box for both indoor and outdoor use. Fiber splitter box is an optimal solution for network deployment in customer premises applications. It can distribute cables after installing splitters and also can draw out fiber optic cables by direct or cross-connections. Standard plug and play splitters are especially accepted inside the box.

Fiber Distribution Box

Fiber distribution box is the branch splice closure for distribution cables in FTTx network. It is widely applied to applications of aerial OSP network, medium to low-rise MDU building’s exterior attachments, and central riser closets or stairwells attachments of mid-rise to high-rise MDUs. It is a faster and easier solution than traditional OSP closures. It can fix 1*32,1*16,1*8 or 1*4 splitter，FC/SC/ST/LC adapters.

Conclusion

K&M have designed different types of Fiber Termination box for metal and plastic one for different applications, Customized solution is our strong point to provide the most suitable solutions for our customer with different projects.
